Yes and it's somewhat better if the Bucs do well and win the division. The media and sportsbooks will be all over Brady's nutsack, the Bucs will have all the pressure. We can go into the playoffs flying under the radar.

I wouldn’t count on that, a wild card for the Saints that is. So far, it looks like the North will provide a division winner along with a wild card, same for the West. The East will barely provide a winner. I just don’t see a wild card team coming out of the South, with the way the North and West are playing. Still a lot of football left though, including five more divisional games along with Chicago and SF. Bottom line, I would much prefer the Saints win the division without issues. The hype surrounding the “all-in” year won’t go away, regardless of record. Apparently..., now is the correct time to go “all-in” <sigh>. What happened to the last decade?
